You might not get to see the day-to-day magic, but your gift is making a huge difference for our little learners.\r\nIn our TK class, things can get pretty lively (as you can imagine with 4- and 5-year-olds!). These headphones have helped create little pockets of calm and focus. Now, when students are listening to stories, practicing letter sounds, or singing along to songs, they can really hear and concentrate without all the classroom noise around them.\r\nThe kids absolutely love them. They feel so grown-up putting on their headphones and diving into their learning apps.\r\n\r\nIt might seem like a small thing, but to us, it's huge. You've helped make our classroom more peaceful, more focused, and more fun.

I will upload some photos of my class with using the exercise mats for the first time.\r\n\r\nGone are the days when my students had to lie on the ground or grass to exercise. Students no longer have to worry about getting their clothes dirty or getting bitten by ants or insects. They no longer have to lay on the hot asphalt blacktop or wet grass. In the past, most of my students were not fond of having P.E. at all. Now, they keep asking for P.E. daily. We have been using the mats for warm-up and stretching exercises. There is a yoga club at our school. I will inform them of the availability of these exercise mats if they are interested. \r\n\r\nOnce again, we sincerely appreciate your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1758636821874,"projectUrl":"project/exercise-mats-to-keep-students-fit-and-h/9669158/","projectTitle":"Exercise Mats to Keep Students Fit and Healthy","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gip","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9939609"},{"teacherId":841015,"projectId":6315197,"letterContent":"My students have enjoyed printing animals to put in to their habitat diorama's.
